Chapter 245

The enraged Leviathan’s attacks only got fiercer with time .

Hweek!

Boom!

Its tail exited the water to strike a powerful blow against the floor of the labyrinth . The party quickly dodged, and seeing the unharmed labyrinth, they felt renewed respect for the floor of the labyrinth .

After leaving the water, the Leviathan opened its mouth .

Kwahhhhh!

It shot its water breath once again . At Sungyoon’s instruction, the party jumped into the water droplet next to them .

When they reached as deep as possible into the water, Tim raised his s.h.i.+eld .

Puh-uhng!

The water breath pierced through the water drop to hit Tim, but due to all the water it had to push through, the attack had lost a lot of its power .

‘It's still so powerful!’

Tim pressed the s.h.i.+eld close to his body and used all the strength in his body to push against the attack . Yet, his body was being pushed backward, and it seemed, he wouldn’t be able to last long .

Sungyoon escorted Grace out of the water .

Fortunately, the Leviathan had become enraged when it saw Tim had blocked its attack . The colossal monster only directed its water breath toward Tim .

Grace raised her staff .

Pah-jee-jeek!

Soon, enormous lightning erupted from the staff . The Leviathan had been focused on the impertinent human blocking its attack, so it flinched in surprise . It could tell that a serious amount of electricity was flowing through that staff .

Chwahhhhhhhk!

The monster desperately whipped around its head toward Sungyoon and Grace in a bid to redirect the water breath toward them .

However, it was too late .

“Ha-aht!”

Grace let out a shout as she waved her staff . The electricity swirled around in the air, and the deafening thunderclaps caused the water droplets to vibrate .

The Leviathan felt threatened . It immediately ended its water breath and rushed inside the water .

Pah-jee-jee-jeek!

The lightning shot toward the Leviathan .

Ooh-ohhhhhhhhhhh!

Unfortunately for the Leviathan, the water droplet wasn’t that effective in stopping the lightning attack . A ma.s.sive amount of electricity traveled through every fiber of the Leviathan’s being .

Splas.h.!.+

Tim and Emily exited the water drop, and the party looked toward the Leviathan . They all hoped the monster was done for the count . However, Sungyoon didn’t let his emotions dictate his actions . He ordered their next move as soon as Grace’s spell ended .

“Please prepare the ice spell, Ms . Grace . ”

Grace blinked in surprise at the words . However, she immediately complied and shook her staff, which still sparked with electricity . Her magical energy lit up a different Gem .

Sungyoon then turned to Tim .

“Can you block its charge one more time, Mr . Tim?”

“What?”

Tim looked shocked by the question, but he calmed down when he saw the look in Sungyoon’s eyes . Seeing Sungyoon's trust, Tim knew Sungyoon didn’t say any bulls.h.i.+t .

“Understood! I’ll block it with my life on the line! Where should I block it??”

Sungyoon pointed at the water droplet right next to the one that the Leviathan had occupied . The two water droplets were very close to each other . Tim scurried off to the water droplet . He walked a bit deeper inside until Sungyoon gave him the sign to stop . Then, Tim turned around and pushed his s.h.i.+eld forward .

“Ms . Emily, I want you to prepare a healing spell from the rear in case Mr . Tim gets injured . ”

Emily’s face hardened a little when Sungyoon mentioned that her brother might get injured . However, she silently nodded and prepared the healing spell . When she was done, she pointed her staff toward Tim’s back .

After giving the orders, Sungyoon stepped into the water droplet that the Leviathan had run to .

Koo-ahhhhhhhhhhh!

The Leviathan had survived the lightning attack . Even at a glance, one could tell that it had suffered a significant amount of damage . However, all that mattered was that the Leviathan was still alive .

The monster moved with the goal to squash the little bugs who had given it such horrible pain . Vengeance and viciousness appeared in the Leviathan's already-violent eyes .

Splas.h.!.+

When the Leviathan saw Sungyoon approach it without fear, it decided to attack him .

As the Leviathan shot forward . Sungyoon came to a stop . He threw his halberd, ax, and other weapons to anger the Leviathan . Facing such sharp weapons, the Leviathan flinched a bit, but it did its best to remain on its course . It deflected the weapons and charged at Sungyoon .

Sungyoon turned around and dashed out of the water droplet . Then he entered the nearby water droplet .

Puh-uhng!

The Leviathan followed Sungyoon into the other water droplet, and the surface of the water violently rippled as if it had been hit by a cannon . Sungyoon gestured with his hand, and stalagmites shot out of the ground . At the same time, he increased the water pressure using the gravity spell .

Ooh-ohhhhhhhh!

The Leviathan didn’t pay attention to Sungyoon’s antics . It had only taken heavy damage the last time because the attack had been so unexpected . The colossal monster diligently dismantled the stalagmites by biting it, and thus, it only had to deal with the water pressure . However, it knew it just had to move enough to bite its foe once .

The Leviathan pushed past the water pressure into the direction of Tim and Sungyoon .

Boom!

It tried to swallow Tim in one bite . Tim brought down his ax toward the monster's lower lips . At the same time, he blocked the fang descending toward him with his s.h.i.+eld . His Gems shone as he had overclocked them .

Tim had to strain so much that his face turned red, and air bubbles appeared from his mouth . He knew he wouldn’t be able to last long, and his gaze unconsciously headed toward Sungyoon .

Sungyoon signaled Grace .

Woooong!

Grace held up her staff and activated her spell .

At that moment, the Leviathan was straddling both water droplets . Its head was advancing toward Sungyoon, Tim, and Emily, while its tail remained in the original water droplet . The middle part of its body was exposed to the air .

Grace accurately aimed toward this very exposed part that lied between the two water droplets .

Zzuh-juhk! Zzuh-juh-juhk!

A part of the Leviathan’s body froze, but it wasn’t effective . However, the ice spread outward . Grace hadn't been aiming to directly freeze its body; her target was the water surrounding it .

Koo-ohhhhh?

The Leviathan was surprised, and it twisted its body . Even if the spell wasn’t directly effective against the Leviathan, it was still a spell from a high rank Gem . The water froze to imprison the monster's body .

Splas.h.!.+

Sungyoon, Tim, and Emily used this opportunity to exit the water droplet .

Ooh-ohhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh!

Kwah-jee-jeek!

The Leviathan struggled in earnest, and cracks rapidly formed in the ice . They could just tell by a glance that the ice wouldn’t last long .

“Please prepare the lightning spell . ”

As soon as he gave the order to Grace, Sungyoon ran toward the Leviathan . His goal was the exposed part of the Leviathan's body that lied in the open air .

Taht!

With a push off the ground, Sungyoon landed on top of the Leviathan’s body . Grace's magic spell had shown some effect, as Sungyoon saw a thin layer of ice . He raised his hammer and brought it down .

Kwahhhng!

An explosion detonated on the Leviathan’s body . The Leviathan screamed and struggled even more . The cracks were getting bigger, but the ice layer was still holding up and fixing the Leviathan’s body in place . Sungyoon was standing atop the Leviathan, but the part he was standing on wasn’t shaking that much .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sungyoon brought the hammer down several more times, and the monster's scales broke apart . When its tough flesh was revealed, the sword's time had arrived .

Poo-oohk!

The blade of Sungyoon's sword pushed past the resistance posed by the monster's flesh . Sungyoon successfully pierced his sword halfway in the Leviathan's body .

Ggoo-ahhhhhhh!

The Leviathan screamed louder, and its body vibrated harder . The lightning that flowed out of Sungyoon's sword tortured the Leviathan, but Sungyoon had yet to stop .

He raised his hammer again .

Kwahng!

Kwah-doo-dook!

The hammer slammed the handle of the sword, and the resulting explosion sank the sword deeper into the Leviathan .

“Mr . Sungyoon! The ice won’t last any longer!”

Tim correctly a.s.sessed that the ice was about to break apart .

Sungyoon jumped off the Leviathan’s body and yelled at Grace .

“Shoot it towards the sword!”

Grace discharged the staff charged with lightning . The lightning accurately hit the sword embedded within the Leviathan .

Kwahhhhhhhhh!

Koo-ahhhhhhh!

In the end, the Leviathan broke all the ice around its body as it thrashed . As it had twisted itself, Grace’s lightning missed the mark . However, enough lightning had entered into the Leviathan’s body through the sword, and this lightning continued to scorch its scales and skin .

The Leviathan thrashed for a long time . It couldn’t even think about counterattacking due to the excruciating pain .

Ssssk .

Grace’s spell came to an end .

Boom!

At the same time, the Leviathan’s body slumped . The part of its body exposed to the air hit the ground, and the parts within the water sank to the bottom of the water droplets . The Leviathan had stopped moving .

“Did . . . did we win?”

Emily peeked over Tim’s s.h.i.+eld, and she spoke in disbelief at what she saw . Sungyoon summoned his halberd and stabbed the Leviathan .

Poo-ook!

The halberd pierced the region of the Leviathan where it had lost its scales . Steam came off it, but the monster didn’t move .

It was dead . Everyone had the same thought as they relaxed a little bit .

However—

Hoo-oong!

The Leviathan’s tail moved . It swung in a large arc to exit the water droplet and headed straight toward Sungyoon’s party .

“s.h.i.+t!”

Tim immediately stepped forward .

Boom!

He had to block the tail with his s.h.i.+eld .

“Koo-ooo-ook!”

Tim furrowed his brows and gritted his teeth . His entire body creaked, but he had blocked it .

‘I was worried I would be sent flying . ’

Fortunately, the Leviathan was too injured . However, as soon as the party relaxed a bit again, the head of the Leviathan shot out from the other water droplet .

Koo-ahhhhhh!

Its outer skin was scorched black, and it was in immense pain . Yet, it ignored all of that and attacked the ones who had harmed it .

The party was too close to run away . Sungyoon tried to raise his s.h.i.+eld, but the Leviathan’s teeth had already appeared right in front of him . The faces of his party members turned pale . The vivid image of the sharp teeth ripping through their armor and bodies appeared in their minds .

Death .

This ominous word danced in their minds as if it were ridiculing them . They were about to disappear into the mouth of the Leviathan when—

Boom!

A large explosion rang out . The Leviathan’s head exploded into pieces, and chunks of its flesh spread into the surrounding .

“Uh? Uh uh?”

At some point, Emily had grabbed Sungyoon’s clothes, and she had closed her eyes . When she opened them, they only contained shock at the sight of the surroundings . Tim and Grace were the same . Instead of seeing the sharp teeth or the repulsive sight of the monster's inner mouth, they only saw the dark labyrinth .

Boom!

The headless body of the Leviathan fell to the ground .

Blood and flesh of the Leviathan were smeared all over their bodies, but the three of them had no idea what had happened . They just vacantly stared at the corpse . However, Sungyoon’s reaction differed from them .

He had just blown apart the Leviathan’s head with one blow . With a firm grip on his hammer, he looked down at a certain Gem; the Gold Gem with a hue of red to it . The Gem emitted a subdued light as if it were trying to calm down Sungyoon .

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

The familiar sound of the heartbeat receded away, and the power which had filled his body to the brim slowly dissipated .
